I want to say thanks to Errol Martyn for his help with information on the above three airmen. Any further info on these men would be appreciated if anyone can offer more.

Another page is on my own Great-Uncle Ted Homewood, who is universally known as Bluey. He joined the RNZAF in 1940 and was in for five months before being fed up with stacking shelves in the stores and pushing aeroplanes around the tarmac,so he signed on with the Army. It only just dawned on my yesterday that he needs to be included on the website as he lived in Cambridge for several years in the 1950’s, and in fact it was because of him that my grandparents moved here from Ardmore with my Dad, leading to Dad meeting Mum, and the rest is history. His page is here:

Another two pages that I have added are that of husbad and wife Murray and Joan Lind. These two pages are very much works in progress, put up so that their son Alan Lind can see what i have so far and hopefully he will add more. Murray Lind was a No. 485 (NZ) Squadron Spitfire pilot, and Joan was a WAAF in the UK.

Lastly, a page that has had a bit of updating lately and will hopefully receive more as some significant information has just been promised by his daughter Barbara Good, is the page on Lancaster pilot Frank Stott

Dear Dave
It is always it is a pleasure and a honour to read the life stories on your web page.
Can I point out an error in reference to Alexander Neilson Thomson, this should read Gosport near Portsmouth. And not Plymouth.

Again my thanks to you for all your help in my research in to Bill Stuart’s time in RNZAF.
Currently I am still trying to have his name entered in to the book of rememberance at Warboys church in Cambridgeshire.

A TV doc, was shown here in the UK of late. and appears to show that the raid in which Bill took part in, and sadly did not return from.
Was in fact the first raid that the newly formed pathfinder Sq under took during the war.

Regarding David Pullenger his Lancaster crashed in the village of Branston a few miles south of the city of Lincoln.

I understand that a brass plaque commorating this has been placed in the Home Guard Club in Branston.

Last summer an item about the crash appeared in the Branston parish newsletter, which I m currently trying to get hold of via a friend who lives in the village.
Should any further details arise from this, then I will forward the details to this page.
